CSC Healing Center of Excellence
As activity increases at the site of the new facility on CSC property residents of Dorchester have been reaching out sharing their concerns and questions. I want to hear from you as well as keep you updated on what engagements are happening regarding the project.
• Today I sat down with Jeff Taylor, the Director of Community and Corporate Services to hear about his plans for Tantramar regarding Business, Tourism and Residential growth and to share thoughts our community shared with me. I took this opportunity to also ask him for his thoughts on the impact CSC will have on growth in Dorchester. I’m looking forward to hearing thoughts in the coming weeks and sharing it with our communities .
• Our Mayor Debbie Wiggins-Colwell is on the Public Advisory Committee and will be attending a meeting on July 6th.
• A file of questions and concerns is being compiled for her to take with her to the meeting. I have asked her to prioritize asking for a public information session to ensure our community has the opportunity to hear first hand what CSC has planned.
Please forward your questions and concerns to me at:

I will add them to the file for Mayor Wiggins-Colwell and forward them to our CAO Jennifer Borne.
